Walking through the front doors of Northeastern Senior High School, I didn't know what to expect. It's been more than 10 years since I last sat in a high school classroom. But this time, I was returing not as a student but as career presenter.
About a month ago, I volunteered to participate in the high school's Career Day event and speak about why I became a journalist. I had a great time. The questions students asked made sense, and I enjoyed offering insight into what goes on inside a newsroom. I have a better understanding of how young people view the media, especially as a career choice. I just wish my high school, back on Long Island, N.Y., would have held a similar event.
